Well, actually, your pic of RCA cables demonstrates my original issue - a monoblock only has one input so which of the two RCA goes in the input??
Not trying to be obtuse here, I know we all have different levels of understanding and expertise but it is the cable that is connected to the output of the pre amp that needs to be plugged into the input of the power amp. It's that "circuit" thing again
-
if you are Ok with balanced cables exposed in your room for now of course that will be better. And you don't have to fart around making speaker wire fit into RCA type connectors.

Ur close go snag'em
. They are wonderful horns anyone thinking about them. $325?...that's just the sanding labor.

Oh yes of course you will have to use both wires...don't have a "circuit" without both.
I am going to pretend your speaker wires are a red and black pair. Wire the red wire to the RCA "center pin" on both ends and the black wire to the "outer shield" on both ends.
-
Go for it..it will work..just not optimally. Is this balanced or unbalanced?

I would only call if there was a 1% chance I would acquire these.

Well I rolled the dice on a supposedly "brand new" unit from Hong Kong. Don't have it yet, it's on a slow boat from China. There are several sellers on EBay in China that claim they have new units. I assume they bought out the surplus when production was shut down in China. We'll see.

Still worth a double-check, though. For just a few dollars, that gadget is a nice thing to keep around anyway.
Ah, well, that eliminates one possibility. Still useful as general knowledge.
Another thing to check: I once encountered a situation where everything on one particular circuit acted strangely. The wiring checked-out OK. When I looked at the breaker, I found that it had tripped, but only partway -- literally the lever was partway between "ON" and "OFF". There was just enough continuity to satisfy the receptacle-testing gadget, but under load things got weird. I reset the breaker and all was well again.
There's that "it measures good but is bad" thing again
Yep half tripped breakers, seen it several times in my life as well and not just in audio situations of course.
And yes everybody should have one of those outlet checkers.

Neither question is dumb; both are standard procedures in a case like this. Also check to see if the "hot" and "neutral" connections in the wall plug are reversed. One of these will do the job for you.
I have a (solid state) amplifier that only hums when the ground is lifted. I have another (solid state) amplifier that always hums unless I use one of these.
Op had an electrician check out his house, I certainly HOPE he would have checked for hot and neutral reversal.
My understanding so far is that this is a single integrated amplifier system. Where would any kind of isolator go?

Dumb question: Have you tried a "cheater" plug (temporarily) just to see if lifting ground does anything?
Maybe not so dumb...just looking through Decaware documentation they suggest it and say nothing about it being temporary(?).
Also specs state 120HZ down only 68dBu (?)

I hope I am still alive
Well there is that

I am afraid this will be the case in the OPs situation as well. Only he can decide if he can live with the hum. But he still needs to short the inputs to get to the inherent hum level.

Dang that work thing always gets in the way

did we lose the OP @ThomBoh ?

$100, you pay freight. But seriously, 8-15" bass bins? That's a hell of system.
@ACME you have 8 single bass bins? or 4 doubles?

I think @wuzzzer is correct. And my question is what social events occur? Pilgrimages used to be a blast.

@ThomBoh sorry if I missed it...are you shorting the inputs when trying this hum test with just the amp and speakers? There is a SCIENTIFIC way to troubleshoot these types of problems. If with only the speakers connected to the amp and the inputs to the amp shorted and there is hum there is something wrong(or inherent) in the amp. Given another amp running off the same power outlet is fine.

Pictures will help...and maybe a minimum below which you will just laugh

Hello,
Anyone have a unit they don't use that they would part with?
